My wife and I stayed in the cottage for 10 days in October, 2015. We found it to be ideal for a quiet, peaceful stay in the Tuscan countryside. The views were spectacular, and we loved the opportunity to stroll around the grounds prior to sunset and enjoy the scenery. Everything we needed was provided in the kitchen to cook our meals. It was an ideal location to venture out to the surrounding villages and wineries. Charly and Ann were gracious hosts and helped by answering all of our questions, giving directions, etc. They arranged a cooking lesson/dinner for my wife which turned out to be a highlight of the trip. We highly recommend the cottage for your visit to Tuscany.

After spending a day, and night, in Lucca, we made our way down to the barn. Our journey was surprisingly pleasant and the directions provided to us by Charlie were spot on.Our initial reaction when we pulled up at this stunning location was one of excitement. Perfectly located in the Tuscan dips with views that you wouldn't believe.The house itself was clean and brilliantly equipped. There is a Co op supermarket no more than a 15 minute drive away, so a nip out to get some of the essentials in ( as you would expect to have to do) was easy enough.We actually really enjoyed spending the evenings making our own tea and enjoying the tranquility of the house and it's wonderful grounds, and of course a few bottles of the local wine.The location is also ideal for day trips. We drove out to Florence, Siena, Certaldo amongst others and found the escape from the tourists back to the house, within an hour, perfect.There are plenty of options of you choose to eat out and the book provided at the house gives you all the top tips.We did this trip as a couple and will definitely be returning. I would like to, in a dream world, buy this property as it is simply stunning.We only wish we had booked this hours for longer as moving from hotel to hotel in the cities is not fun.

Charlie and the lovely owners are super people. We will see you again.
